hi everyone thank you for your support
we couldn't have reached our milestones
without you this means more lives
impacted and more that we can do for the
years to come so thank you getting into
a new relationship is a big step and
it's important to make sure that you are
emotionally ready
perhaps you're recovering from a past
relationship or you're still single and
wonder if you'll ever get into a
relationship here are seven signs that
you will be in a relationship too soon
one you're not desperately searching for
someone if you feel like you need a
relationship to be happy then you're not
satisfied with just being you being
independent is a very powerful train and
being dependent on having a partner in
your life can lead you to avoid dealing
with your own issues sometimes we're
only ready for relationships when we've
done some work on improving ourselves
and learning to be more self sufficient
to your over your last relationship or
crush this is an obvious point but we
should point it out anyway if you're not
over your last relationship jumping into
a new one before you're ready might not
be the best choice for one thing your
new partner won't appreciate being with
someone who's thinking about their ex or
somebody else all the time
secondly getting over your last
relationship is an important process
that helps you grow as a person brush
that process and you might end up using
your new partner as a rebound and it's
not okay three you're ready to let your
guard down relationships are all about
letting go expressing your deepest
emotions and letting your guard down if
you're still putting up walls you might
find it very hard to connect with others
on an emotional level
or you're ready to adapt and grow like
it or not being in a serious
relationship changes who we are as a
person when we let our guard down around
our partners we allow them to make a
deep impact on our persona and how we
view the world you'll never be the same
person after a serious relationship so
you need to be prepared for the changes
that will come our relationship also
requires you to adapt and compromise as
you cooperate with your partner and a
healthy relationship 5 you've dealt with
most of your inner demons we all have
inner demons and there's no shame in
that after all we are people of the past
when we fully understand and cope with
our inner demons we become stronger and
more mature this helps us understand
life better 6 you don't have the need to
control others unfortunately many people
get into new relationships because they
relish the opportunity to control others
we've mentioned narcissistic personality
disorder and other similar problems on
this channel before and this thought
pattern can result in seriously
unhealthy relationships ask yourself
whether you want to emotionally connect
and grow with another person or whether
you view a potential partner as a status
symbol or material possession 7 you
don't want to save or rescue your new
partner have you ever gotten into a
relationship because you felt like you
could help someone deep down did you
think you could rescue them and help
them achieve a better life while this
mindset might seem noble and benevolent
experts believe that it could also be
quite unhealthy in taking this approach
you're letting the relationship mimic
the connection between a dysfunctional
parent and a child
as loving the relationship might seem it
might not feel like a genuine connection
between two equal adults are you
thinking about getting into a new
relationship
can you recognize any of these traits
and yourself how do you know whether
you're ready for our new relationship be
